MITCHELL/Ballarat

[ama50]

 I hope someone can help. I am trying to track down Frank and Evelyne Mitchell born 1888 and 1891 who went to Australia after August 1922. They were from Wilmington, Kent, England . Frank served in the British Army and his service record address was amended to 609, Ascot Street ? Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, sometime after 1919.
     I know they were married in Wilmington, Kent in 1922, but have had no luck checking the immigration records.
     Frank had a brother, Robert born 1890. From what I am told, he may have already left for Australia prior to 1920.

     The remaining siblings in Wilmington lived in a house called "Ballarat", maybe relevant but I dont know anything more.  Many thanks.     ama

Is it census info ID'ing their parents that you want?

(Evelyne's Maiden name was Hobden ? )

 Thanks for prompt reply! Sorry, I didnt make it very clear. I know about their lives in England, but am wanting info on their immigration and life in Australia. Anything would be really helpful    ama

In the 1891 and 1901 census (details availble if you want them), the Mitchells lived in Garden Place, Wilmington. No House names were shown ...


However, using google, a Planning application for 'BALLARAT GARDEN PLACE' can be seen in Wilmington, Dartford area.

  Thank you for replying. Frank and Robert's parents were

    Henry Mitchell born 1854 Wilmington, Kent and Annie Mabson Smith born 1853 Great Glemham,
                                                                                                                                             Suffolk.

Evelyne Mitchell (nee Hobden)  father is given as Henry Hobden on her marriage to Frank.
 I suspect her mother was Annie Maria Wallis, as Wallis is Evelyn's middle name.


     Hope this helps.   ama

I live in Ballarat, and noticed the refernce to Ascot street. Have you checked the Electoral Rolls? I could do it for you if you are unable.
